The present invention provides a liquid softener composition having pH 2 to 5 at 20&#xb0; C. and containing (a) a polymer compound having a weight-average molecular weight of 2,000 to 90,000 and containing specific monomer units (A) and (B) in a specific molar ratio, (b) one or more compounds selected from specific quaternary ammonium salts and amine compounds, and (c) at least one compound selected from water and solvents having a C log P value of 2 or less within specified ranges.

Liquid softener composition or transparent or semitransparent liquid softener composition

The present invention provides a liquid deodorant having a high deodorizing effect and lasting ability to a fabric or fabrics. That is, the present invention provides a liquid deodorant which comprises 80 to 99% by weight of water and has a pH of 7.5 to 9.5 at 25&#xb0; C., 1000 ml of which deodorant may be adjusted to pH 10 at 25&#xb0; C. with 10 to 200 ml of 0.1 N aqueous NaOH and may be adjusted to pH 7 at 25&#xb0; C. with 20 to 500 ml of 0.1 N aqueous HSO.

Fabric deodorizer comprising an amine oxide

Provided is a process for preparing a sulfuric acid amine salt (I) represented by the formula (I), which is a neutralization compound between a sulfated compound having a long chain alkyl or alkenyl group and an amine having a long chain alkyl or alkenyl group, useful as softener. 

Sulfuric acid amine salt, sulfonic acid amine salt, production thereof and softener composition

An aqueous fabric softener composition is disclosed, which comprises water and, as a softener new material, an ammonium salt obtained by neutralizing the following Compound (A):

Fabric softener composition and ammonium salt

A softener composition comprises (a) 7 to 30 wt. % of a neutralization product with an inorganic or organic acid having not more than 6 carbon atoms of one selected from the group consisting of (a-1) an amine compound having 2 or 3 hydrocarbon groups each having 11 to 22 carbon atoms in its molecule and (a-2) an ion complex compound formed from 1 mole of a polyamide having a hydrocarbon group having 11 to 22 carbon atoms and 2 to 5 nitrogen atoms and 1 mole of an aliphatic acid having 12 to 22 carbon atoms and (b) 0.2 to 5 wt. % of one or more polyethers, each being an adduct of an alkylene oxide including ethylene oxide to a compound having 3 or more active hydrogens, which contains 50 wt. % or more of the polyoxyethylene units, having a molecular weight of 5,000 to 2,000,000. It is of the concentrated type and provides clothing with an improved softness and anti-static property.

Concentrated softener

A liquid softener composition comprises water and an amidoamine compound (a) obtained by condensation reaction of a di- or triamine of the general formula (I) with a fatty acid of the general formula (II), or a neutral salt of the amidoamine compound with an inorganic or organic acid:
